Effects of soil slope on lateral capacity of piles in cohesive soils

Creator:

Nimityongskul, Nontapat

Abstract:

Pile supported bridges are typically constructed near or in a natural or man-made slope and are subjected to lateral loading. The current design method for laterally loaded piles involves the use of Winkler's spring concept with the standard nonlinear p-y curves. The available p-y curves were developed based on results...

Ecological thresholds, climate extremes, and tree species' distributions across the Pacific coastal United States

Creator:

Lintz, Heather E.

Abstract:

Species' distributions across the landscape are perhaps the least understood yet most conspicuous features of life on earth. Ecologists have long studied species' distributions; yet, many questions remain about why species occur where they do. Such questions persist largely because species' distributions are complex systems with challenging properties like non-linearity,...
